Holidawgs.com was created by Christine over a weekend away at a getaway that promised “enclosed”, but wasn’t. Starting off as a list of her favourite, hand-picked listings that were indeed enclosed, it has grown into what it is today.
A weekend away without my beloved “furkids” is just not the same. But, I’ve found that throughout the years, merely using a “pet-friendly” search on a number of travel booking sites, was just not enough. A few times I’ve arrived at an accommodation stating that they are pet-friendly with enclosed yards, to find that there were large sections of the wall missing (ie not fully enclosed), or dogs nearby, or a boundary wall easy for even my medium-sized dogs to jump.
I have a little escape artist in Shakti, so I’ve had to make sure that wherever I go is “Shakti-proof”.
I created Holidawgs.com with the intention of creating a way for pet owners to quickly and easily be able to ascertain how pet-safe (TM) an establishment is through the Holidawgs.com unique safety rating system. Each accommodation is put to the test, and reviewed against these criteria from guests. So you always get an objective view, specifically from guests travelling with dogs.
The site’s pet-safe (TM) rating is modelled on medium-sized dogs, but we also provide a pet-safe (TM) rating for small and large dogs alongside each accommodation.
In addition to helping you find pet-safe (TM) accommodation, every booking made through Holidawgs.com donates to animal charities.
Happy and safe travels!
Christine, Shiva & Shakti (my furkids)
